Ceur d'Alene News: The Bank Of Murray

creek, hall a mile below town, to Thomas
N. Carruthers, Dr.. II. B. Littleield and C.
L. Jackson for $3.50. The property is
also known rs the Porter q Henderson
claim" They borrowed q considerable
sum upon the property from the Bank of
Murray, which was never paid. The
bank brought suit AGAINST them. OBJ
tanned judgment. attached the property
and acquired sheriff's title more than a
year ago. The claim was very poorly and
e1~travagantly managed by Porter & Hen.
derson who are believed to have taken out
fully 5000 O from less than an acre of
ground. The new owners arepractical men
who know how to work ground properly
and as they have abundant means there is
no doubt that the claim will be opened and
worked in q systematic and business like
amer. =.

by Do Reins, j. Roche. w. P. and j. For
bis, is down over 100 feet. The east drift
is in about eighty feet, and in it they have
struck q body of ore a foot wide thai runs
eighty ounces fine milling. Wm. Forbis
superintends the mine. 1t is the owners
intention to erect hosting works soon.
THE NOBLE NINE.
Superintendent Noble, of the Noble mine,
on Wisconsin Creek, near Sheridan, Jeffer-
son County, was in town yesterday and
engaged twenty miners to accompany him
back when he leaves this morning. Mr.. No
BILE sold this property to St. Louis parties
not long since, and they are now operating
it under his SUPPLEMENTARY. The mine is |
worked through q 6O0.foot tunnel, start
creek, and has backs that will last for |
years, being as high. as the tunnel is deep. |
There is a ten-stamp mill running
at present, which gives employment
to t~hirty-six miners. When the install
ment Of twenty reaches there
there will be fifty six men working under
ground. A new twenty-stamp mill is being
erected which it is expected will be in run
ming order in ninety days. Boarding and
bunk houses are being erected. The mill is
run by water power alone and Mr.. Albert
Moran, under whose direction the improve
ments are now being conducted, states it is
the best water power in Montana. The
min is a collaborating quartz and the ledge
ten feet between walls as far as
developed.
THE ELI MELTE
is fast going to wreck. The engine house
roof is falling by it's own weight; the sides
ready to fall also. The ca'ciners and
blast furnaces remain in about the same
state as they we're left by ex-Sheriff Sulll-
van. Unless something il done immediate
ly these works will be a total ruin inside a
year. This was the first smelter that ever
turned out matte near Butte and started
it on it's prosperous career al the great
producer she now is.
